That I don't really know what to do. I think I understand the basics of the 
weighting system, but I'm confused by the results of switching from 
probabilistic query (parameter P) to boolean filtering (parameter B.)

Probably by adding a <meta name="keywords" content="dfsg, social contract"> it 
could gain some more weight. Olly, do you have any comment or suggestion as to 
what could be done? AFAICS not even the document's <title> is recorded as 
Sterms.
